European Tapas & Cocktails On Faber Peak, For Some Of The Most Amazing Views In Singapore
Dusk Restaurant & Bar by One Faber Group located 100-metres about sea level, provides al fresco dining with a panoramic views of HarbourFront and Sentosa Island. Check it out.

I must say this hilltop restaurant is good for a casual yet romantic nights out, or after-work gathering with colleagues and friends over sharing platters, tapas and drinks. An added bonus is the beautiful views that can be seen from here.

As for the food conceptualised by Executive Chef Kenny Yeo and team, there is a wide range from Main Courses with a touch of Asian, European Tapas, Sharing Platters, Snacks, and Desserts.

The recommended is the Real BBQ Chicago stuffed with creamy double mozzarella cheese, string cheese and cream cheese mousse with honey and BBQ sauce, this is a combination of sweet and savoury in one bite. Northpoint City Food Guide

NEW Unagi Restaurant At Wheelock Place
The question most people will ask is, “So Man Man better or Uya?”

Uya 四代目菊川 located at level 2 of Wheelock Place, aims to offer affordable and authentic Japanese traditional unagi cuisine to the masses in Singapore.

With the offering of Hitsumabushi bowls as well, the comparison between the two will be inevitable. The price of the Hitsumabushi Set is at $35++ for the medium, and $48++ for large. In contrast, the large Hitsumabushi is priced at $26.80+ and $35.80+ (without service tax) at Man Man.

Those who find Man Man’s version too sweet, could prefer this as you can savour more of the natural flavours of the eel.

However, while the unagi was of reasonably good quality, it lacked that slight char and smokiness one would come expecting. Uya Singapore (Wheelock Place)

Typhoon Cafe menu boost a series of 17 board sets – these Typhoon Boards Sets come in a variety of noodles, rice like Oyster Mee Sua, Lu Rou Fan and San Bei Chicken.

Prices start from $12.90, and each board set comes with a Chinese chilled salad side dish and a soup of day for rice and dry noodles.

The Taiwanese Oyster Mee Sua ($14.90) served with oyster fritters, camed with a rather smooth starchy consistency. However, I won’t go as far to use “authentic” to describe this, as it still a bit off from the familiar umami taste from those at the night market. The price isn’t “authentic” anyway.

Perhaps because the menu is too extensive, and that they are trying to find a sweet spot between being authentic and instagrammable, some dishes didn’t quite hit the mark. Typhoon Café (Plaza Singapura)

Steakhouse Using Meats From New Zealand And Cooking Techniques Of Japan, At Marina One
On the 4th level of the rather futuristic looking (like off a Hollywood set) of Marina One lies two glass capsules.

One of them contains Wakanui Grill Dining, an 86-seater restaurant which features steak and lamb from New Zealand.

The stars and the essence of the restaurant are therefore the New Zealand Ocean Beef and Wakanui Spring Lamb, which are grilled over Japan-sourced Binchotan charcoal in the centrally-placed, open kitchen.

I was recommended by the service manager the Wakanui Spring Lamb Chop ($8) as the starter, and it turned out to be quite exceptional.

The lamb had intense flavour and retained its natural juiciness, without the usual gaminess lamb would have. In fact, this would count as one of the most tender lamb chops I ever had.

However, and unfortunately despite the positive reviews I had been reading, the beef turned out to be slightly overcooked, bland and almost too tough and dry. Wakanui Grill Dining (Marina One)

8 Exciting Japanese Food Concepts From Hokkaido Japan Next To Don Don Donki, Orchard Central
With the opening of Hokkaido Marche at Basement 2 of Orchard Central next to Don Don Donki, there is another reason for the shoppers (and supper crowd) to fill their stomachs before another round of shopping.

Partnering with food manufacturer Hokkaido Marche, Don Don Donki features a total of 8 dining concepts from Sapporo, Hakodate and Asahikawa (all from different parts of Hokkaido prefecture) in a food hall setting, 1 of which is Sushi Shika Hanamaru that will open in February.

Unlike the usual Marche that we are familiar with where purchases are credited to a single card and payment are made upon exiting the compound, diners will need to make their purchase at the respective stalls within Hokkaido Marche. A buzzer will then be given out for self collection when the food is ready. Hokkaido Marche (Orchard Central)
